My Poetry: I'm An Achiever

I'm An Achiever...

---

I’m an achiever,
but my achievements
mean nothing to those
who have always achieved.

I’m an achiever,
because I’ve risen
to rub shoulders
with those who have achieved.

I’m an achiever,
because I’ve broken
from the chains
that kill dreams.

I’m an achiever,
because now my dreams
are more than hopes
no matter how much I regress.

I’m an achiever,
because I grow
with each heart I touch
no matter how they break me.
